Box Score

LONGVIEW, Texas – LeTourneau University women's soccer team cruised to a 4-1 victory over Jarvis Christian College at the Joyce Family Athletic Facility Friday for its first win of the season.

The YellowJackets (1-2) drew first blood early, after a goal from senior Reagan Sandford put the Jackets up, 1-0, five minutes into the contest.

"The girls came into the game ready and with a sense of urgency," head coach Alyssa Taramona commented about her team's fast start.

Halfway through the first period, sophomore Drew Lessert slid one passed the Lady Bulldogs' (0-2) goalkeeper into the corner of the net on a swift pass from Sandford, extending the LETU lead to two. Sandford struck again for the YellowJackets, punching a shot to the back of the net on an assist from Miranda Coffey at the 23^rd minute mark. LeTourneau wasted no time ringing the alarm for another goal, scoring its final goal a minute later, after Coffey booted one in on a pass from Lessert, giving the Jackets a comfortable 4-0 lead.

Jarvis Christian snuck one in at the 86^th mark from a shot by Emmalee Lopez, but it wasn't enough to catch the Jackets.

"We were able to showcase what we've been working on the last few weeks," Taramona said. "This is a great steppingstone leading into our game against Millsaps."
